Letters Patent No. 94,344, dated August 31, 1869.

IMPROVED WINDOW.

Tlie Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part o! thesame.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE SHATSWELL, of Waukegan, in the county ofLake, and lState ot' Illinois, have invented an Improved Window; and Ido hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will ena-blethose skilled in the art to makeand use the same, reference heilig had to the accompanyingdrawin gs, andletters marked thereon, making a part ot' this speciiioation, in which-Figure l is a perspective representation of my improved window.

Figure 2, a broken View of the same.

Figure 3, an elevation of the swinging stop detached from the frame; A

Figure 4, a broken elevation of lower sash.

Figure', a transverse section of one of the sashstiles and the swingingstop, taken on line x x, fig. 2.

The nature oi the present invent-ion consists in combining a hinged stopwith a hinged sash, whereby the sash is arranged both to swing andslide, as hereinafter fully described.

A represents an ordinary window-frame, which is provided with insidestops N L, in the usual manner. The stop P G', however, has a differentconstruction, it being cut in two parts, at f, figs. 1 and 2, and havingformed on the inner edge of the-part G', a tongue, J, which tits into arabbet, m, iigs. 4 and 5, in the sash-stile G, and holds the stop inplace.

The part G. is hinged to the casing at G G, and it is so arranged, thatwhen the sash C is so raised up that the lower end of rabbet m isbrought above the end, K, of the tongue J, it will swing open, and alloweither sash to be readily removed from the frame.

The lower sash is hinged on loose joint-hinges, at E, on which it may beswung open, it' desired, the sash rising o from and adjusting itself onthe hinges without care on part of the operator.

In this construction of windows, and where weights and pulleys are used,it is necessary sometimes to remove the sash from the cords. In thiscase, any ordinary detachable cord-fastener can be used with the sameresults as on other windows.

The hinged stop G will be found very convenient for windows where doublesashes are used,inasmuch.

as much trouble and annoyance are obviat-ed in adjusting and removingthe sash in the fall and spring of the year.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

In combination with the tongued stop G', the sash C, arranged to swingand slide, as and for the purpose set forth.

GEORGE SHATSWELL.
